綠色科技展現創意
疫情肆虐至今多年,香港市民每天都需佩戴口罩,於保護自身安全之餘,卻忽略環保。有見及此,本校中三級甲班張言申同學、許中天同學、黎珀言同學及黃祟僖同學參加了「三菱電機綠色科技創意大賽」,於老師的指導下,運用AI技術,反覆進行UVC消毒實驗,最終研製了一台「口罩回收消毒機」,把口罩回收及消毒,經過處理下可另作其他用途。
經過口頭匯報及評判評審後,本校同學喜獲賽事的季軍及最受歡迎大獎,並獲邀到香港科學園出席「創新科技嘉年華2022」,作現場示範及表演。
參賽同學均希望透過這個創意設計,喚起大眾環保的意識,減少塑膠垃圾,舒緩堆填區的壓力。期望疫情早點過去,這部「口罩回收消毒機」將來只用於醫院病房。
Innovation Through Green Technology
Due to the prolonged epidemic situation, Hong Kong people need to wear masks every day to protect their own safety. Meanwhile, environmental protection is being neglected by many. In this connection, S3A CHEUNG YIN SAN, HUI CHUNG TIN, LAI PAK YIN and WONG SUNG HEI teamed up and participated in the Mitsubishi Electric Green Innovation Competition. Under teacher’s instruction, they made use of AI technology to perform UVC disinfection experiments repeatedly, and finally developed a “mask recycler and disinfector” to recycle and disinfect used masks for other uses.
After the oral presentation and assessment by the judges, our students won the second runner-up as well as the Most Popular Award. They were also invited to attend the InnoCarnival 2022 at Hong Kong Science Park to demonstrate and showcase their invention.
Our students hope to raise public environmental awareness, reduce plastic waste, and relieve pressure on landfills with this innovative design. We do hope that the epidemic will soon become a memory so that this invention may only be used in hospitals.
